DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in detail, examples of the embodiments are shown in accompanying drawings, and reference signs that are the same or similar from beginning to end represent the same or similar components or components that have the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, are merely used to explain the present disclosure, and cannot be construed as a limit to the present disclosure.

In the related art, generally, a Mandarin recognition model is used for speech recognition of Mandarin, and a dialect recognition model is used for speech recognition of a corresponding dialect, so that when a user switches languages, they need to select a corresponding speech recognition model again and again, and thus the operations are tedious. In addition, as more and more dialects are to be supported, the workload and maintenance costs are high.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a modeling method for speech recognition, an apparatus and a device.

The following describes a modeling method for speech recognition, an apparatus and a device according to embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a modeling method for speech recognition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following.

At block 101, first speech data of Mandarin and first speech data of P dialects are processed respectively based on a pre-trained alignment model to obtain a tag corresponding to each frame of the first speech data, and the obtained tags are counted and deduplication is performed on tags of each type to determine N types of tags, N being a positive integer and P being a positive integer.

In the related art, when speech recognition is performed for Mandarin and dialects, it is necessary to switch to a corresponding speech recognition model for recognition. The switching operations are tedious. In addition, when the number of dialects increases, corresponding speech recognition models need to be added, and thus the costs are high. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides the modeling method for speech recognition, which realizes mixed modeling of Mandarin and dialects, so that one model may be used to recognize both Mandarin and dialects.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the mixed modeling of Mandarin and dialects is performed, the speech data of both Mandarin and the dialects may be aligned at a frame level according to the pre-trained alignment model to determine the N types of tags, thereby ensuring accordance of modeling units between Mandarin and the dialects.

A tag is the content corresponding to each frame of the speech data. For example, a tag corresponding to each frame of speech data is determined according to an acoustic model in a related speech recognition model, and a recognition text is obtained according to a language model in the speech recognition model and the tags.

For example, the alignment model may be pre-trained according to speech data of Mandarin. Input of the alignment model is characteristics of each frame of the speech data and output of the alignment model is a tag corresponding to each frame of the speech data. Further, collected speech data of Mandarin, speech data of dialect A and speech data of dialect B are input into the alignment model, and the tag corresponding to each frame of the speech data is output. Further, counting and deduplication are performed on the output tags to determine the N types of tags as nodes of an output layer of a neural network in subsequent actions. For example, if N is 2,000, 2,000 different tags may be determined after alignment. Thus, frame-level alignment of dialects and Mandarin is realized, and the accordance of the modeling units between the dialects and Mandarin is ensured.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the alignment model may be implemented based on a Gaussian mixture model. The speech data of Mandarin and tagged text information corresponding to the speech data of Mandarin may be collected in advance, where one or more tags corresponding to each word are known in the text information. Furthermore, a Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC) characteristic of each frame of the speech data is extracted, and the alignment model is generated, according to the MFCC characteristic and the text information, by training parameters of the Gaussian mixture model based on maximum likelihood estimation, such that the input of the alignment model is the MFCC characteristic of each frame of the speech data, and the output is the tag corresponding to each frame of the speech data.

At block 102, a neural network is trained according to second speech data of Mandarin, and a recognition model is generated when the neural network converges, in which outputs of the recognition model are the N types of tags.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the N types of tags are determined, speech data of Mandarin may be collected to train the neural network, so that the number of nodes in an output layer of the neural network is N, and the N nodes in the output layer of the neural network respectively correspond to the N types of tags. The neural network may be a DNN-HMM (Deep Neural Network-Hidden Markov Model).

As a possible implementation, the speech data of Mandarin and tags tagged correspondingly may be collected, and a filter bank coefficient characteristic is extracted from the speech data of Mandarin. The neural network is trained according to a training criterion of CTC (connectionist temporal classification), in which the training criterion of CTC may be as following formula,

$\frac{\partial O}{\partial a^{k}} = {y^{k} - {\frac{1}{p\left( z \middle| x \right)}{\sum\limits_{s \in {{label}\mspace{11mu} {({z.k})}}}{{\alpha (s)}{\beta (s)}}}}}$

In detail, y^(k) is a score of a tag k referenced at a certain moment, Σ_(s∈label(z,k))α(s)β(s) represents a score, obtained by multiplying a forward score by a backward score of CTC, that belongs to the tag k in a CTC path at the certain moment, and P(z|x) is a total score of a path passed by the CTC at the certain moment. Furthermore, the recognition model is generated when the neural network converges, the output layer of the recognition model is the N types of tags, and the recognition model may be used to recognize the speech data of Mandarin. By inputting the speech data of Mandarin into the recognition model, a tag corresponding to each frame of the speech data may be obtained.

At block 103, second speech data of the P dialects are inputted into the recognition model for processing respectively, to obtain an output tag of each frame of the second speech data of each dialect.

In an embodiment, speech data of the dialects may be collected, and the speech data of the dialects is input into the recognition model to be converted from the speech data into tags. The tag corresponding to each frame of the speech data of each dialect is obtained as a corresponding output tag.

In the following, description is made in combination with a processing process of the recognition model.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of determining an output tag according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the following is included.

At block 201, a filter bank coefficient characteristic of the second speech data of the P dialects is extracted, and N posterior probabilities of each frame of the second speech data of each dialect are determined according to the filter bank coefficient characteristic.

In this embodiment, since the N types of tags are determined based on the alignment model, the outputs of the recognition model are the N types of tags. The filter bank coefficient characteristics of the speech data of the dialects may be extracted and then input into the recognition model for processing. For each frame of the speech data of each dialect, the N posterior probabilities may be output. For example, a one-dimensional array with a length N may be output, each value in the array representing a posterior probability of each tag.

At block 202, a tag corresponding to a maximum value in the N posterior probabilities is determined as an output tag of a frame of the second speech data corresponding to the N posterior probabilities.

In this embodiment, for each frame of the speech data of each dialect, the maximum posterior probability is determined among the N posterior probabilities, and the tag corresponding to the maximum posterior probability is determined as the output tag of a corresponding frame of the speech data.

For example, N is 2,000, and the speech data of dialect A and the speech data of dialect B are respectively input to the recognition model, and thus corresponding forward scores, i.e., the posterior probabilities of the output layer of the recognition model are respectively obtained. Since there are 2,000 nodes in the output layer, for each frame of the speech data of dialect A and dialect B, a one-dimensional array with a length of 2,000 may be obtained. Each value in the array represents a posterior probability of a tag. Furthermore, the tag corresponding to the maximum value in each array is determined as the output tag of the corresponding frame of speech data.

At block 104, an error rate of each type of the N types of tags is determined for each of the P dialects according to the output tags and tagged true tags of the second speech data, and M types of target tags are generated according to M types of tags whose error rates are greater than a preset threshold, M being an integer greater than or equal to zero.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second speech data of the dialects in the above steps is collected, the tagged true tags corresponding to the second speech data may be obtained. Both the output tags and the true tags belong to the N types of tags.

It may be understood that, since the recognition model is trained based on the speech data of Mandarin, the output tags obtained by inputting the speech data of the dialects into the recognition model for processing may be not accurate enough. Therefore, tags that are accurately recognized can be further determined as tags commonly used for both Mandarin and a dialect, and the target tags may be newly generated and determined as tags used for the dialect alone according to tags that cannot be accurately recognized.

For example, the dialect is dialect A. For each frame of the speech data of dialect A, the output tags corresponding to the frame are matched with the tagged true tags of the frame. If the output tags are consistent with the tagged true tags, it is indicated that the classification of the tags is correct; otherwise, the tags are misclassified. Furthermore, the number of misclassifications for each tag is counted, and normalization is performed based on the total number of each tag to obtain an error rate of classification of each tag. For example, the number of Tag 1 in the tagged true tags is 10. If 5 of the corresponding output tags are Tag 1 and the other 5 are other tags except Tag 1, the error rate of Tag 1 is determined to be 50%.

In this embodiment, for each dialect, after the error rate of each tag in the N types of tags is determined, the error rate may be compared with the preset threshold. A tag with an error rate less than or equal to the preset threshold is determined as a tag used for both Mandarin and the dialect, and a target tag is generated according to a tag whose error rate is greater than the preset threshold. That is, for each dialect, M types of tags with relative high error rates may be determined from the N types of tags, and M types of target tags generated correspondingly according to the M types of tags are determined as tags possessed by the dialect alone. Each of the M types of target tags is different from any of the N types of tags. The preset threshold may be determined based on a large amount of experimental data, or may be set according to needs, which is not limited herein. For example, the preset threshold may be 90%.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in a case where different dialects exist, the error rate of each tag is determined for each dialect. For example, M1 target tags may be determined for dialect A, and M2 target tags may be determined for dialect B. For a specific implementation of the case where different dialects exist, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments, and details will not be described herein again.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for each dialect, after the M types of target tags are generated according to the M types of tags whose error rates are greater than the preset threshold, a decoding dictionary may be updated according to the M types of target tags, adding corresponding pronunciations to the target tags in the decoding dictionary. The decoding dictionary includes a mapping from words to phonemes, and is configured to connect the acoustic model and the language model.

At block 105, the acoustic model is trained according to third speech data of Mandarin and third speech data of the P dialects, in which outputs of the acoustic model are the N types of tags and the M types of target tags corresponding to each of the P dialects.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the M types of target tags are determined for each of the P dialects, the acoustic model may be trained according to the speech data of both Mandarin and the dialects. The outputs of the acoustic model are the N types of tags and M types of target tags corresponding to the each of the P dialects. Therefore, both Mandarin and the P dialects may be recognized through the acoustic model, and the accuracy of the recognition is ensured. Thereby, the speech recognition model may be constructed based on the acoustic model, a related language model and the decoding dictionary, so that the speech recognition may be performed on Mandarin and different dialects through one speech recognition. The acoustic model may be a DNN-HMM model.

Taking Mandarin and dialect A as an example, N is 2,000, and the preset threshold is 90%. For dialect A, if the number of tags whose error rates being greater than 90% in the 2,000 tags is 400, 400 modeling units, i.e., the 400 tags whose error rates being greater than 90%, are listed separately as additional modeling units. Furthermore, the acoustic model is trained according to the speech data of Mandarin and the speech data of dialect A, so that the number of nodes in the output layer of the acoustic model is 2,400. 1,600 nodes of the 2,000 nodes are shared by Mandarin and dialect A, 400 nodes are used for Mandarin alone, and an additional 400 nodes are used for dialect A alone.

For another example, referring to FIG. 3, taking Mandarin, dialect A and dialect B as an example, N is 2,000 and the preset threshold is 90%. For dialect A, if the number of tags whose error rates being greater than 90% in the 2,000 tags is 400, the 400 modeling units are listed separately as additional modeling units. For dialect B, if the number of tags whose error rates being greater than 90% is 600, the 600 modeling units are listed separately as additional modeling units. Furthermore, the acoustic model is trained according to the speech data of Mandarin, the speech data of dialect A and the speech data of dialect B, so that the number of nodes in the output layer of the acoustic model is 3,000. For dialect A, 1,600 of the 3,000 nodes are shared by Mandarin and dialect A, 400 nodes are used for Mandarin alone, and additional 400 nodes are used for dialect A alone. For dialect B, 1,400 nodes are shared by Mandarin and dialect B, 600 nodes are used for Mandarin alone, and additional 600 nodes are used for dialect B alone.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, speech data of Mandarin and speech data of the P dialects may be collected, and tags may be tagged for the speech data of Mandarin as first tagged tags, and tags may be tagged for the speech data of the P dialects as second tagged tags. The first tagged tags are obtained by inputting the speech data of Mandarin into the pre-trained alignment model, and the second tagged tags are obtained by inputting the speech data of each of the P dialects into the pre-trained alignment model. Furthermore, a training sample set is generated according to the collected speech data and tags tagged correspondingly. For the speech data of each of the P dialects, the M types of tags originally tagged whose error rates are greater than the preset threshold are replaced with corresponding M types of target tags to obtain updated training samples. For example, for dialect A, if the error rate of tag 1 is greater than 90%, tag 1 originally tagged is replaced with target tag 1′. Furthermore, processing parameters of a preset model are trained according to a preset objective function and the updated training samples in the training sample set to generate the acoustic model, so that the input of the acoustic model is speech data and the output of the acoustic model is a tag or a target tag corresponding to each frame of the speech data. The preset model may be a DNN-HMM, etc., and the acoustic model may be trained based on the CTC training criteria. The implementation may be referred to the recognition model, and may not be repeated herein.

It should be noted that, the speech data of Mandarin in different steps in this embodiment may be the same or different, and so does the speech data of the dialects. The speech data may be selected according to needs, and is not limited herein.

According to the modeling method for speech recognition according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first speech data of Mandarin and the first speech data of the P dialects are processed respectively according to the pre-trained alignment model to obtain the tag corresponding to each frame of the first speech data, and the obtained tags are counted and the deduplication is performed on the tags of each type to determine the N types of tags. Further, the neural network is trained according to the second speech data of Mandarin, and the recognition model with the outputs of the N types of tags is generated when the neural network converges. Further, the second speech data of the P dialects is inputted into the recognition model for processing respectively to obtain the output tag of each frame of the second speech data of each dialect. Further, the error rate of each type of the N types of tags for each of the P dialects is determined according to the output tags and the tagged true tags of the second speech data of each dialect, and the M types of target tags are generated according to the M types of tags whose error rates are greater than the preset threshold. Further, the acoustic model is trained according to the third speech data of Mandarin and the third speech data of the P dialects, the outputs of the acoustic model being the N types of tags and the M types of target tags corresponding to each of the P dialects. Consequently, for each dialect, corresponding target tags are generated based on an error rate of each tag in the recognition model trained based on Mandarin, and the acoustic model is generated according to existing tags and the target tags newly generated, so that the acoustic model may recognize the speech data of both Mandarin and the dialects, and determining the modeling unit according to the mistaken in classification of each frame of the speech data is realized. Thereby, mixed modeling of Mandarin and dialects is realized, so that while ensuring the accuracy of recognition, one model may support both Mandarin and several dialects. Therefore, it is unnecessary to switch between different models, thereby simplifying user operations and reducing maintenance costs.
